8 days over and not even a sniff that labour is coming my way...

...do you think I will need to be induced or is there still a chance my body will know when to do this on its own?

evening primrose oil internally and clary sage oil on your pillow may get things moving

I showed no signs of going into labour with DC1 at 40+8. I went into labour naturally at 40+13, avoiding induction by a matter of hours, and had a calm, easy (ish) and quick (6 1/2 hours) birth.

Try going for long walks- I walked 3 1/2 miles in the day I went into labour, and I think that's what finally shifted him. Good luck!
